Spacey and adventurous, Copenhagen's The Asteroids Galaxy Tour experiments with funk, folk, soul and '60s psychedelia. The collaboration between Mette Lindberg and Lars Iversen formed recently with the exchange of demos, ideas and quirky vocals. Adding soulful horns and guitar to basic pop rhythms, the duo embodies the sound of multiple decades. The pair's vibrant sound is amplified during live performances, when The Asteroids Galaxy Tour becomes a six-piece band.

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's demo tapes quickly caught the attention of record labels, and soon enough, it was playing with big-name acts such as Amy Winehouse. Though the duo's debut album Fruit won't be released until April, it's already spawned the popular song "Around the Bend," which was featured on an iPod Touch commercial [below]. -[NPR's World Cafe]
